Title: Combat simulation wherein target objects are associated to protecting object by means of a local co-operation between the target objects and the relevant protecting objects
Inventor: DAVIDSSON STEFAN
IPC: F41G3/26
Filed: 2002-01-03
Abstract: The invention relates to simulation of effects in a combat environment, wherein personnel, vehicles and buildings are exposed to simulated fire in the from military weapons. Direct fire and indirect fire are simulated by means of at least one of light rays (111) and radio waves (121). Effects of attacking fire are registered by means of a target object device (145), which includes sensors adapted to detect the light rays (111) respective the radio waves (121) and are co-located with the target object (140). According to the invention the target object (140) is associated to at least one protecting object (130a; 130a') located between the simulated fire (111; 121) and the target object (140) if such object exists in the current combat situation.  This enables a consideration to various protecting objects' (130a; 130a') influence on the simulated fire and the effects on corresponding actual fire.  The invention thereby simulates the effects of direct fire and indirect fire in a realistic manner, which in turn provides good chances of an adequate behavior of the training personnel in a corresponding live situation.

Patent CA-2441640-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ROZAK A THOMAS
IPC: E21B43/00
Filed: 2003-09-19
Abstract: Production of methane from coal seams is primarily dependent on the permeability of the coal. The present invention uses a three-step process to stimulate a coalbed methane well, wherein step one comprises injection of a predetermined gas into a well bore intersecting a coal seam, step two comprises a shut-in period and step three comprises the placement of propped fracture treatment. In step one, the injection of the predetermined gas physically opens pre-existing paths of weakness in the coal. As the predetermined gas travels along these planes of weakness, it preferentially adsorbs onto the coal and displaces the methane. This displacement process induces shrinkage of the coal matrix which further increases the size of the intervening existing fractures. The second step, or shut-in period, allows time for this gas exchange process to substantially complete, thereby maximizing the effect of matrix shrinkage and enhancement of the intervening fractures. The third step comprises placement of a propped fracture treatment into this enhanced fracture system. Propping of the enhanced fractures ensures that they remain open, even as removal of water and methane work to close the fractures by increasing effective stress within the coals. The result is a stimulated coal seam which maintains enhanced permeability during production operations.
